Hello sweet reader, Laura and I were having breakfast a couple of days ago with our dear friends and neighbors Jerry Jampolsky and Diane Cirincione, shortly after our recent return from our summer in “Bernieland” (Go Bernie!!) Jerry always has some challenging question for me, about my ongoing (and endless…I pray) spiritual journey/struggle and he… Continue reading From One Legged Teachers: Lessons On Living – AND letting go of – A Life of Generous & Loving Service

IN EXCHANGE FOR A BETTER FUTURE, I HEREBY RENOUNCE MY WISH FOR A BETTER PAST.
Hello dear Reader, Some time ago I ran into a woman of whom I’m a huge fan, who has been a very important teacher for me, and who I hadn’t seen in quite a while. She asked me “So Michael, how’re you doing? What’s up? I answered, “All the important stuff is fine. But I’ve… Continue reading IN EXCHANGE FOR A BETTER FUTURE, I HEREBY RENOUNCE MY WISH FOR A BETTER PAST.
SCARY?? REALLY?? SAY’S WHO??
“I am lying in my bed five flights up… and here and there on my blanket, lost feelings out of my childhood lie and are like new. All the lost fears are here again: “The fear that a small woolen thread sticking out of the hem of my blanket may be hard, hard and sharp… Continue reading SCARY?? REALLY?? SAY’S WHO??
AHA!!!
Sweet reader, I know, I know. It’s been a really long time. I’d like to talk about that first. When I first started posting this blog, I got some advice from a friend, the essence of which was: “If you want to get a lot of followers, you have to post very often – as… Continue reading AHA!!!

Who ARE These Guys??!!
WHO ARE THESE GUYS??!! Dear Reader, Yeah, I know, it’s been a while. No “excuse” really. It’s not as though I haven’t been thinking about things (too much probably), but I reckon I’ve been in that place where, because I don’t know whether anyone actually reads this stuff, I figured: “why post your thoughts? It’s… Continue reading Who ARE These Guys??!!

“Real happiness doesn’t come from getting things. Real happiness comes from letting go”. (Pam Weiss) A year or two ago I was attending one of the regular Wednesday night SF Insight group classes led by Pam Weiss, my coaching – (and important spiritual) teacher. Have I ever mentioned in any of my posts that most… Continue reading On Letting Go…
Happy? Who…ME??

What is the point of all this struggle, if, when we have it, we don’t even recognize it? Is this it? Is it something more? Is it something else?… Continue reading Happy? Who…ME??
